The course is both fundamental and innovative. It encourages experimentation and innovation in the use of clay from conventional ceramics into contemporary and experimental art form. You will learn about various types of firing and investigate the characteristics of clay in its various states (raw, bisque and high-fired) in order to expand your definition on ceramics. Besides from readymade clay from factories, you will learn to collect and process natural clay into usable clay. You will also explore to formulate your own clay through composite materials and additives. In the process, you will explore the numerous possibilities of clay such as clay as a paint in painting, clay as surface treatment, clay and its geographical content and clay and its cultural content.
